BIGGEST EVER PROPOSED IN NEBRASKA
Projected Cnnnl Would Add SUty
Tliounnnd Acres to Hie Irrlxnted
Strip Aortu of the I'lntte
GenernI . of the Stnte.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, July 2. (Special.) A plan for
Irrigating on a colossal scale a loug strip
of land north of the Platte river in Scotts
Bluff and Cheyenne counties has been
brought to the attention of State Engineer
Dobson and a committee of citizens re
siding In Scotts Bluff county Is search
ing anxiously for capital with which to
back the scheme. The territory through
which It is proposed to run the principal
canal has been organized Into an Irrigation
district and J400.000 of bonds' have been
voted for tho purpose of raising funds to
complete the work already begun.
"It Is undoubtedly the biggest Irrigating
scheme ever attempted In the state," said
Mr. Dobson. "The people who are push
ing It started their work quite a while
ago and they have constructed already a
canal ot upwards of twenty miles In
length, extending from a point on the
Platte river, very near the Colorado line,
eastward and about parallel with the river.
They say they have Invested approximately
1100,000 in this canal and It Is estimated
that $400,000 will be required to complete
It."
The district Included In the plan would be
tho owner of the canal. The residents of
the territory have voted the bonds and If
these can be disposed of for cash the
work will bo pushed. Completed, tho canal
would be about fifty or sixty miles In
length. It would follow closely tho banks
of the river for a mile or so and then Its
course would be almost directly east for
tho remainder of tho distance.
Scotts Bluff county leads In Irrigation.
It has between 60,000 and 60,000 acres of
land under Irrigation, all of which Is
growing good crops. The proposed canal
would add about 30.000 acres of Irrigated
land In Scotts Bluff county and about the
same In Cheyenne county.
ThU llonrd In 1'urt Iculnr.
A little reminder of bow state business
was conducted by tho fusion reformers
was given this morning by one of the
several merchants who are here attending
the quarterly meeting of the Stato Board of
Purchase and Supplies. The board was
deliberating In executive session and the
merchants were Indulging in a general
conversation In the corridor.
"It seems to mc that this board Is In
excusably slow In purchasing tho supplies
for tho state Institutions," said an Im
patient dealer. "They have seen our sam
ples and heard our bids and I can see no
reason why there should bo this delay In
arriving ' at the decision. Tbo former
board usually finished the whole thing In
a day but for tho same work this board
takes two days "
"It's this way," promptly replied Sam
Wolbach of Grand Island. "This board Is
particular and tho other one wasn't. The
men In there now examine each Item of
a bid, but the old board simply nwarded
the contract to the man making the lowest
total bid and It was frequently found out
afterward that the lowest bid was In
reality tho highest bid. These state of
ficials go through each bid carefully to see
whether there Is any shenanigan In It
or not."
And nobody volunteered a denlM.
Slow to Adopt IllRh School Law.
Superintendent Fowler said today that the
proposition to establish adjunct districts
under the free high school attendance law
had been defeated In nearly every county
tti the state. This Information comes to
him In tho formal reports returned by the
county superintendents, but In no case have
reasons for tlje opposition or defeat been
assigned, The free high school attendance
law will bo effective only In counties which
adopt the adjunct district proposition.
From the reports so far received, both for
mal and Informal, It appears that Jefferson
county stands alone In favoring the forma
tion of the adjunct districts. Late reports
will undoubtedly show that a few other
counties havo voted to accept the proposi
tion, hut tho percentage will be very small.
Today Mr. Fowler sent communications to
the various county superintendents nsktng
for further Information regarding the vote
as follows:
"Please write me as fully as your time
and your knowledge of conditions, will per
mit the reasons for the oppoiltlon to the
establishment of the adjunct district In
your county.
"Do you think the question should be sub
mitted In your county In June, 1902? If .o,
what kind of a campaign should be waged
to Insure success at the polls?"
Mr, Fowler Is an enthusiastic supporter of
the law and he Is determined to see that
no effort ! spared to carry It Into effect
all over the state.
Clinic Wnrden Open Office.
Georgo B, Slmpklns, deputy game warden,
said today that hu did not anticipate any
serious difficulty In enforcing the game law
which was passed by the last legislature.
The law went Into elfect yesterday and the
deputy and under deputies are already on
' the lookout for violations, but they do not
expect to find many,
"The railroad, express and transportation
companies have assured me that they will
abide by tho provisions of the act, and this
Is a long step In tho right direction," said
Mr. Slmpklns today. "Everywhere people
seem to think the law is a good one, and I
don't think there will bo many efforts made
to break It."
The olllce of the game warden was opened
at the state house today. Mr. Slmpklns
will have full charge of the department and
will probably devote considerable of his
time to directing the movements of the
under deputies from the office at the state
house, but he will be In the field a good
share of the time.

LINCOLN, July 2. (Special Telegram.)
The osteopath law passed by the last legis
lature Is beginning to bear fruit. Today,
Just a little over twenty-four hours after
the law went Into effect, the State Board
ot Health granted license certificates to
twelve graduates of the osteopath school ot

advertising was the basis ot a long con
test to secure the revocation of his li
cense, has been held under advisement
for further consideration.
Sfiiiillpnx Almost Brndlcnted.
The hot weather of the last few weeks
has about eradicated the last cases of small
pox, but a few communities arc still ex
periencing some trouble with the disease.
Dr. Towne ot Omaha, smallpox expert, was
here today attending the meeting of the
Board of Health. He said there are only
a few cases of mild form existing, but on
account of their mildness they aro ex
tremely dangerous, because the patients are
not careful In observing quarantine regu
lations. A case In Tccumseh, which has
been carelessly exposed, has been referred
to the attention of Dr. Townc and It Is
probnblo he will go to that place tomorrow
to make an Investigation.

What S. S. S.
for Children
Children are constantly exposed to all ports of dis
eases. The air they breathe is filled with germs, sewer
gas and dust from the filthy streets arc inhaled into the
lungs nnd taken into the blood. At the crowded school
rooms and other public places they come in contact
almost daily with others recovering'from or in the first
stages of contagious diseases. You can't quarantine
against the balance of the world, and the best you can
do is to keep their blood in good condition, and thus
prevent or nt least mitigate the disease. You have
perhaps learned from observation or experience that
healthy, robust children (and this means, of course,
children whose blood is pure) are not near' so liable to
contract diseases peculiar to them, and when the' do it
is generally in a mild form. On the other handweak
emaciated and sickly ones seem to catch every disease
that comes along. This is because their blood is lack
ing in all the elements necessary to sustain and build
up the body. Poisons of every description accumulate
in the system, because the olluted and sluggish blood
is unable to perform its proper functions.
Such childten need a blood purifier and tonic to give
strength and vitality to their blood, and S. S. S., lcing n
purely vegetable remedy, makes it the safest nnd lcst for
the delicate constitutions of children. S. S. S. is not only
a perfect blood medicine, but is pre-eminently the tonic
for children; it increases their appetites and strengthens
the digestion nnd assimilation of fowl. If your child
len have any hereditary or acquired taint in their blood,
give them S. S. S. and write to our physicians for any
information or advice wanted ; this will cost you noth
ing, and will start the little weaklings on the road to
recovery. Hook on Blood and Skin Diseases free.

INDIGESTION
AND
CONSTIPATION
Thfie fe twin evils whkh work
ctlouj mischief In the humn body.
They sip the strength, destroy energy
snd Impoverish the blcod. As result
of these silments, the system gridu
illy becomes disordered ind the con
stitution wekened so that the body
loses vitality and Is unfd to stand the
train of hard or continuous lacor;
thus, the victim offers a shlnlng mark
lor kidney disease, lung trouble or the
life-crushing malarial fever.
An easy and certain means ol
warding off this condition is within the
teach ol every one.
PRICKLY
ASH
BITTERS
Ihe'System Regulator, is the remedy.
A few doses whenever the digestion is
disturbed, or when the bowels fail to
move regularly, will remove the diffi
culty and stimulate the vital organs
to a better and more complete per
formance of their duties. With vigor
snd regularity in the stomach, liver,
kidneys and nowels. there can be no
of strength or energy, the blood
wi be pure and nourishing, and the
capacity of the body for work thereby
maintained at tne highest standard.
Send for a bottle to-day. Keep It
always in the house. A half wine
glassful when the stomach feels
bloated, when the breath Is bad, or
the bowels constipated, will quickly
restore the feeling of vigor and cheer
fulness. Matoueck, treasurer T. J Smcrsh, secre
